I have a ViewSonic viewpad model 7e. I cannot find the supposedly pre installed document to go and every attempt to download it has either failed or said it has trouble "parsing" the software (whatever that means). I have used the 1moble app to download stuff and while a minority work, when I try to install them it tells me the file format is invalid even though it's apk. extension. I'm frustrated! Please help!!

download the driver for your model

if you're using a custom ROM re-flash GAPPS. Otherwise try to factory reset

restart your computer repeatedly tapping the f8 key to enter safe mode while the screen is black once in safe mode where the only things working will be your keyboard and mouse allowing you to attempt to repair your computer

Windows Advanced Options Menu

Please select an option:

Safe Mode
Safe Mode with Networking
Safe Mode with Command Prompt

Enable Boot Logging
Enable VGA mode
Last Known Good Configuration (your most recent settings that worked)
Directory Services Restore Mode (Windows domain controllers only)
Debugging Mode

Start Windows Normally
Reboot
Return to OS Choices Menu

Use the up and down arrow keys to move the highlight to your choice

select safe mode with command prompt

Click start run type cmd press Enter

black screen should open DOS mode

this will vary depending on your operating system

type in net user username

For eg. If you want to change administrator password , type net user Administrator

it will prompt you to enter the new password

enter the new password and the password is changed

if this fails you will need to

Select safe mode with networking to download

you could download all of these or just one save them to a usb drive for later use if one fails to remove the password

I think your Viewpad 7e needs to be serviced. I hope it's still under warranty.

I see the other two awesome solutions provided here: a manual for a completely different tablet and an offer for an ethernet driver you can't use.

I am actually working on a Viewpad 7e right now with the same symptom. I think it will need a new main board, but if I do come across another solution I will post it here.

my camera from my viewsonic is not working, what sould I do

put micro sd card into usb with a usb micro sd holder a put music or photos onto it/put micro sd back into viewpad slot next to sim card slot /thats it.

The problem is that the Viewpad 10 does not have enough power at the USB port to push a standard external HDD. You will need an externally powered drive or a two to one usb cable for this to work.

i have the driver if you still need

External HDs are not usually recognised on boot, however some external CD drives are.. although most of these type of devices have a built in recovery partition, which should allow you to restore this tablet back to factory without having to resort to loading from external devices. try pressing f10 or f11 on boot or look for other messages on bootup to press a key combination if all else fails try looking for instructions on factory reset from the manufacturers website
